Winning the Battle of the Flesh
"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts" (Gal. 5:24). Do you know what it is like to be in a losing battle with your own body? I do...and I can tell you, it's miserable. There have been times in my life as a believer when...
Old Has Gone, New Has Come
For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (Heb....
A Fact, Not a Promise
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)By Jesus' stripes, you are healed. You don't have to pray. You don't have to have someone else...
God is True to His Word
"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent" (Num. 23:19). When we talk about God's sovereignty, we aren't talking about the religious world's viewpoint of sovereignty. Religious people who don't know the Word say, "God is a...
Hidden Power
"There His power was hidden" (Hab. 3:4 NKJ). The original King James Version of this verse reads: "...there was the hiding of his power." This passage describes a potency not visible to the human eye. It is a power that is not for public display, a power kept from...

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another" (John 13:34 KJV). It is noteworthy to examine the last things Jesus taught before He went to the cross. Reason being, any good teacher - and Jesus was...
A Better Covenant
"But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises" (Heb. 8:6). All through the Old Testament, we find men who understood and took their place in the covenant....
Obedience: No Small Thing
"But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great" (Luke 6:49). Do you ever have seasons in your...
More Than Enough
When Paul faced the threats of Satan’s strategies, he called upon God. In Second Corinthians 12:9, God reveals a powerful principle in His answer to Paul’s prayer: “…My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness…” (NKJV). God’s grace...
Development
"In him [Jesus] was life [zoe]; and the life [zoe] was the light of men" (John 1:4). The life that came into you at the New Birth can affect your mental processes by governing your thinking and your intellect. It certainly did mine. I received eternal life as a...
